A part of me wants to stay home.
The day has been long,
and my feet are craving
an elevated position,
yet I find those same feet
moving of their own accord,
and my arms reaching
for the car keys without
any input from me.
For a bigger part of me
knows my family needs me,
and that the joy and
satisfaction on their faces
will be worth any cost.
Rest will come after.
Yes! Everyday!
